Normally I don’t care for books with dragons in it, but Shadow of the Vampire by Meagan Hatfield had me from page one. I immediately felt sympathy for Declan, since I, myself, have lost my parents and I know what that is like. The characters were strong and believable and […]

Tiger Eye by M. Liu

3 September 2008 Jackie 3

I’ve been hearing a lot about Marjorie Liu and her Dirk & Steele series, so when I saw the first novel, Tiger Eye, at the used book store, I picked it up. I pride myself on being honest and I have to say, this story really didn’t do much for […]
